Snapshot release notes

  • Due to changes to the creative tab ordering system, custom mod element ordering in creative tabs will have to be manually redone. If the user did not alter the order of the tabs using the creative tab order editor tool, no changes are needed and the order will be preserved.

Add a tree feature where u can make custom trees that are different than vanilla and can have multiple types

What about using the "random feature from list" in combination with your trees saved as "custom structures"? It would be the feature type and you wouldn´t have to make multiple elements for all the types

Is there already a estimated release date of MCreator 2024.2? I really like the feature placement procedure block and need it for my mod but as you wrote it is not recommended using the snapshot for mod development

Hello / Good evening developers, I've been using the Mcreator application for two years now, and thank God you're saving lives.

But if I'm coming to you today, it's in a desperate situation... as you may know, Goldorion is leaving the community, which means that without him, the Mcreator Fabric community will be left on old versions of the application and Minecraft (thank you Goldorion for your immense work over the last few years).

you've recently added development on the neo-forge version of the game. and on behalf of the Fabric development community, i was wondering if you'd be kind enough and have the time, to take this plugin back, and add it to the application itself, so that everyone using / developing in Fabric can continue in the new versions of Mcreator and Minecraft...

I fully understand the workload involved, and the time and effort that will have to be invested... but this is an appeal from myself, and I think from the Fabric community...

Anyway, I thank you for reading this message and investing so much time to save all those people who, like me, don't necessarily have the time to learn java code.

Have a nice day,
BAL1SEUR

The project is run by volunteering people and at this time, we don't have the workforce to maintain two APIs at the same time. If this is crucial to some commercial project, you may be able to finance someone to maintain the plugin

so will 1.20.4 forge (not neoforge) be supported, or will it skip straight to 1.20.6/1.21?
